Top 10 fastest cars in the world

10. Lamborghini Aventador

What are the fastest automobiles on the planet? CBS Miami took a spin and crunched the numbers for us, producing this list of the slickest speedsters on the road.
You may be surprised by some of the names on this list, but one thing that is no surprise is the inclusion of Lamborghini. The venerable Italian carmaker has a reputation for speed, and their Aventador is the best of the bunch. The Lamborghini Aventador can reach a speed of 220 mph, and go from 0 to 60 in 2.9 secs.

One sure way to increase speed is to reduce weight. The GT9-R looks like a million bucks on the outside, but with all the amenities stripped from the interior you may be in for a bumpy ride.

2. Hennessey Venom GT

Another example of taking something that works and making it better.

The Hennessey Venom GT can reach a speed of 260 mph, and go from 0 to 60 in 2.5 seconds.
